David takes Rabbah, and the crown of their king is set on David’s head

다윗이 랍바를 쳐서 취하고 그 왕의 면류관을 머리에 씀

2 Samuel 12:26–31: Now Joab fights against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and takes the royal city. Joab sends messengers to David, and says, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters. Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.” David gathers all the people together and goes to Rabbah, and fights against it and takes it. He takes the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight is a talent of gold, and in it are precious stones; and it is set on David’s head. He brings a great quantity of plunder out of the city. He brings out the people who were in it, and puts them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and makes them go to the brick kiln; and he does so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people return to Jerusalem. The Korean Revised Version has Joab about to take the royal city Rabbah (왕성 랍바를 쳐서 취하게 되매), and has him say that he is about to take Rabbah, that is, the city of waters (랍바 곧 물들의 성을 쳐서 취하게 되었으니).

Current wording: 2 Samuel 12:26–31: Now Joab fights against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and takes the royal city. Joab sends messengers to David, and says, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters. Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.” David gathers all the people together and goes to Rabbah, and fights against it and takes it.

He brings a great quantity of plunder out of the city.
